The Meaning of the Word "Malaki" and Its Relation to the Angels
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
May Allah keep you safe. Is there any issue with the statement of some people regarding the angels and other matters, saying that something is "malaki" (royal/angelic) and attributing it to the angels? Is there anything wrong with that?
The Shaykh:
No, "malaki" is not in relation to the angels. "Malaki" is in relation to the king (malik). Pay attention to the word "malaki" with an open lam (fathah), according to the language. For example, "open the door" (iftah al-bab) is like the triliteral root malik (king). It is said "maliki" (my king/royal). Do you think "maliki" means this is from the clothing of the kings? Or is it from the clothing of the angels? Angels wear woven cloth or wear a royal shemagh (headscarf). This is just praise for them.
